Cards

Term
Risk factors for dysfunctional labor
Definition
  • obesity
  • decreased physical fitness
  • short height
  • older age >35
  • fetal weight >4kg
  • paternal height/maternal head to height ratio
Term
How does Friedman define prolonged latent phase
Definition

>20 hrs nullips

>14 hours multips

Term
Outpatient meds for sedation for prolonged latent phase
Definition
  • hydroxyzine (vistaril): 50-100 mg PO or IM
  • Dyphenhydramine (Benadryl): 50 mg PO
  • Zolpidem (Ambien): 5-10 mg PO
Term
Inpatient meds for sedation
Definition
  • morpine sulfate: 15 mg IM (20 mg for larger women)
  • re-evaluate after 20 mins, if UC's have ceased or decreased resp. no more doses are given
  • if pt cont to have UC's with no cx change, 10 more mg can be given
  • IM onset is 10-20 mins, lasts 2.5-4 hrs
  • on average gies women 6-10 hrs rest
Term
Friedman's definition of active phase protraction disorders
Definition
<1.2 cm/hr for nullips and <1.5 cm/hr for multips
Term
Zhang's defintion of active phase
Definition
begins at 6 cm regardless of parity
Term
Friedman's definition of active phase arrest
Definition
no dilation once in the active phase (>4 cm) for 2 or more hours
Term
ACOG definition of active phase arrest
Definition
no cervical change for at least 2 hours after latent phase completed and a contraction pattern exceeding 200 Montevideo units
Term
ACOG prolonged second stage definition
Definition

nullips: 2 hrs w/o epidural

3 hrs w/epidural

multips: 1 hr w/o epidural

2 hrs w/epidural

Term
risks of amniotomy
Definition
  • possible increase in UC's
  • cord prolapse
  • cord compression
  • FHR decels
  • increased infection
  • bleeding from fetal or placental vessels
  • discomfort of procedure
Term
benefits of intact BOW
Definition
  • bulging membrane serves to pre-stretch perinewum before crowning
  • pressure from intact membranes helps with ripening and effacement and dilation 
  • pressure stimulates oxytocin surges in much the same way as presenting fetal part
